Attention new edition deserved (6)
I believe the answer is:
earned
'deserved' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'attention new edition' is the wordplay.
'attention' becomes 'ear' (ear is a kind of attention).
'new' becomes 'n'.
'edition' becomes 'ed'.
'ear'+'n'+'ed'='EARNED'
(Other definitions for earned that I've seen before include "Gained by labour" , "Gained through work or effort" , "Neared (anag.)" , "Merited; made" , "well deserved" .)
